DockerCon EU

October 2017

I spoke at DockerCon EU in Copenhagen with my friend Oli Callaghan about ColoriseBot, a Twitter bot which automatically colourises black and white images using machine learning and OpenFaaS serverless functions.

The bot went on to go viral on Twitter and was highlighted on news sites such as Le Monde and The Next Web. ColoriseBot is now being sponsored to run on Google Kubernetes Engine and was also featured in the opening keynote at KubeCon in Austin, TX.

The courses included teaching basic and more advanced sailing skills, giving demonstrations and leading dinghy fleets whilst coordinating activities with other instructors. In the summer of 2016, I passed my RYA Dinghy Instructor qualification.

FleetReach

In June 2015, I founded FleetReach, a sailing event management platform. My role as Senior Software Engineer and Founder has involved building the entire website itself, front and back-end, implementing the algorithms for scoring participants and also the design for the site.
